Department:

Health Sciences (pre-professional)

Program Level:

Associate of Science Degree

The Health Sciences degree is designed for students who wish to transfer to a four-year college or university to pursue a Baccalaureate or Master’s degree in a health profession such as medical technology, nutrition, medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, physical therapy, veterinary science, etc.

Students interested in vocationally-specific training which prepares them for licensing examinations, such as Home Health Aide, EMT-1 paramedic, or Registered Nursing should look in the Mendocino College catalog under “Certificates of Achievement.” Students who complete vocational training can apply the units earned in their certificate program as elective credits for an Associate of Science degree in Health Sciences.

For students planning on careers in Radiology, Dental Hygiene, Animal Health Technology, etc. (i.e. lower division level programs), Mendocino College offers the prerequisite courses and general education requirements for such Allied Health Occupation programs offered at other two- and four-year colleges. The lower division core requirements are similar from school to school, but the general education and institutional requirements for graduation can vary. As with all programs, students who intend to transfer to a four-year institution should research the transfer institution's requirements and plan to complete the CSU GE Breadth pattern or IGETC GE pattern.

Auditions will be held in the Mendocino College Center Theatre, 1000 Hensley Creek Rd, Ukiah. Actors should arrive at 6 PM on August 17 and plan on staying the full time if needed. No preparation is needed, but actors are encouraged to read the play in advance of the auditions. Scripts are on reserve in the college Instruction Office. Please call 468-3172 for more information.

Christina was born in Humboldt County but her family moved to Ukiah before she was a toddler, and stayed through High School. Christina loves people and was very social growing up, but always did well in school too. Even when attending Ukiah High, she knew she wanted to go to Mendocino College, because she wanted to save money on tuition, and since she was still only 17 her first semester, knew it would be a good transition period—a chance to mature and figure out what she wanted to do before going on to a four-year school.
